【Lab】Hands-on Practicum: Measuring How Exercise Affects the Body

At the Sports Conditioning Ochi Laboratory, students take part in hands-on practicums where they measure and analyze how exercise affects the body.

This year's theme was the Bulgarian split squat! Students compared a standard Bulgarian split squat with one performed using a specific coaching cue, examining how the effect on the body changes between the two.

Pushing themselves until their legs were shaking, the students encouraged one another throughout. It was a tough session — but also one that brought the third-year students closer together.

By feeling the difference in effect with their own bodies, our students are deepening their understanding of training science.
